We’ve got a fresh batch of FREE high-resolution sand texture images for you this week. Given the infinite possibilities afforded by nature and the waves spilling onto the shore, it’s no wonder we’ve been able to bring you a third set of unique and interesting textures related to it. We even captured the clever work of some local crabs cleaning out their burrows!

Armed with our 100mm f2.8L macro lens (150mm equiv. with the 7D) we headed out to our local beach and shot some different grades of sand up nice and close.

We’ve done our best to get corner-corner sharpness, so you at home have the greatest flexibility in how you treat the images in your design projects.

Well, it’s been a while since we last had a Wicked Wednesday! OK, so some of our Wednesdays can get pretty wicked, but they just haven’t been including free high-resolution textures and stock photos like they used to!

Today is different, though. Today, we’ve got a selection of six FREE macro images of bees for you – all shot in our garden here in Sydney. Given it’s apparent attractiveness to the bees, all but one of the photos have the bees collecting nectar from our perennial Basil plant. The last of the images is of one poor dead bee, looking surprisingly intact and restful at the base of a Lavender flower.

Wicked Wednesdays is here again, folks! One more lot of FREE high-resolution macro photographic texture images for your enjoyment. They’re a little more obscure and random this time around, with some shots of sea shells, radiator fins, sand-smoothed broken glass, an electric guitar’s selector switch and of course, more wool! We hope you are able to find uses for them all. If we find the time to get out and shoot some more soon, we’ll bring you more in the future. Feel free to send requests.

All images were shot on a Canon 7D with a 100mm f2.8L macro lens, using several shots of each object for focus stacking.
